7. Trickster, the liminal god
Disruptive intelligence needs polytheism
“Trickster only comes to life in the complex terrain of polytheism”
“…trickster belongs to polytheism
or, lacking that, he needs a
relationship to other powers, to
people and institutions and
traditions that can manage the old
double attitude of both insisting that
their boundaries be respected and
recognizing that in the long run
their liveliness depends on having
those boundaries regularly
disturbed."
